I'm bored too, with troll post like this from people who probably never even played the game. GW2 is a fun accessible game that also allows for a real life. Leveling my 2nd character and enjoying the experience even more than the first time. GL OP

Pretty bored now of the game. Been grinding my alts to get to 30 so I can play around in dungeons. Only have my warrior there. Burnt out. But for one thing, I am very very berry ready for an expansion, with more cool skills for each class to use.

Also hope they add a dungeon for 1-30 level, so dont feel forced to grind levels to enjoy the dungeon experience that the game delivers.

Also perhaps new class to play as well could really spark an interest again.

Would also like new ways to play the game. Like the ablity to be a pilot of my own vehicle some how, and more minigames to play.

WvW is currently not fun when on a underpowered server. Its not fun in small groups. I fear the early feelings of large group is gone on my server now. Server pride the only thing keeping me from leaving like a coward.

But I really really would like a new Instance PvP game thats large scale 40+vs40+ equal sides and not server bound, but faction bound, so that any server can jump in and play together against other servers, with neat RvE features as well.

Structure PvP I have not played at all since beta, since I am not a fan of 5v5 PvP.

I would also like more things to do in the game world. More reasons to explore that isnt revolving around Vistas and Jumping Puzzles because they really get old after a while. How about a new more interesting reason to explore? New things to do other than constant kill events.

Also what about having Raid dungeons? This is something I would also really enjoy in this game. The Party dungeons been ok. But I like Large Scale gameplay. And the world Boss fights are just, well, put it like this,,, its the worst Boss battles I have ever experienced in a MMO before. No rudeness intended. But World Boss battles will never be as good as the fights in the instances are because of the limits of open world event's variables.

But the game does have very interesting ideas that kept me interested for a while. Some skills were boring, but have potential to be very interesting. Like Warrior's banners for example. lol.

Really like the art style of the game, and the animations are nice, and dont feel hampering like, aka Aion like...

I remember Anet saying that GW2 would have no grinding. Well they seem to have forgot that promise. I would like them to remove lot of the grinding in the game, and just make the reason to play, is to have fun. I no longer do heart quest because they are grindy and not fun. Although the grind to level becomes slower, its just not fun to continue to grind anymore for me in a MMO. Older days, yeah it was cool, but new mindset in a new age.

I look forward to what Anet does in an expansion for GW2, or even a new Fantasy MMO that they working on.

they did not say that and anyone who played GW1 would know how much of a grind ANET can put in a game.. they said you would not have to repeat content over and over and over like dungeons to get gear that was "needed" for you to play and enjoy most of all the game has to offer. Which is 100% true. They never said you wouldn't have ot repeat dungeons or other things to get things it just wouldn't be required to play most all the game..

WvW is great in small groups way more fun than zerging imho just need to find a good group:)

Oh lastly what are you "grinding" to get to 30? found that an odd statement or we just have a differn't definition of the term "grind"

Aerowyn I have to say this time you're wrong. The game is no longer what it was when it first launched. Sure it was like the way you described in the beginning for the first two months, but ever since Nov it's not been the same. You see they used the excuse of bots to implement the breaking of loot in the open world, and to implement DR a well known mechanic that's caused so much contraversy in the past in other companies that have used it that those other companies have lost so many players they had to shut themselves down do to lack of revenue.

The first month one could do anything one wanted to in order to get geared to at the time the max was Exotic gear. One could craft exotics because rares were ample enough as drops in dragon events and meta events where one had to destroy armies of undead. But before they added Ascended gear they decided it would be a good idea to make loot almost impossible to get in the open world (as opposed to dungeons)

Jan 28th was hoped to be the patch where they'd finally listened to the fanbase and fixed the loot issues, that did not happen. Instead of fixing problems like using a double RNG for T6 mats for example, they decided to add yet another RNG bag to the store for the new laurel system. Instead of fixing the loot from Veterans and Champions they decided to increase it only slightly enough to get greens.

The game is still a grind. Right now if the game remained unchanged for the rest of the games life, one would have to spend 10 - 16 months to grind out enough laurels to get the ascended gear to gear up 1 toon. And God help you if you have Alts. Especially if you want to gear those alts.

Ascended gear gives advantages in both WvW and in the Fotm style dungeons which means that if you want to see the next content, you need to make sure you are as geared as possible (the next content in dungeons) and you need to make sure you have the resistance to agony, which means you HAVE to have the gear you need to progress. I'm sorry to say my friend that the days of the freedom of choice in progression in GW2 are over, someone's gotten ahold of the steering wheel and turned the dials towards greed.

I have noticed nothing different in the game since fractals was added aside from people asking for groups for fractals in LA.. the gear disperity is so small for WvW you don't even notice... honestly it feels like its an entitlement thing and people feel entitled to get ascended gear same ways as exotic... for me I sit back look at the game and how it effects my play and my friends and have had no ill effects from ascended gear..no people running rampid in wvw oneshotting people no people ruining my gaming experience AND a lot love fractals and working for that gear..I see it as a win win.. but that's maybe just me and everyone I know in game

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

Originally posted by BladestromI'm an agreement, the ascendant gear is a nice aside to work towards but unlike other games I don't need it to be competitive in pvp or pve.

at least me and my friends aren't the only ones:) GW2 was made for a wide audience and i feel this addition helps keep that wider audience.. I also don't see how it breaks their original picture of how they wanted the game to work like i have seen some complain about.. especially now with the new patch and adding an alternate way to get asended gear and making Fractals less restrictive. I never felt like i couldn't complete any content i was trying to doing or acomplish or what i was trying to acomplish in WvW due to my gear not being the absolute top. And it does give me some other gear to shoot for if i decide i want to.. again i see this as a win win..

oh also these new dailies have been doing well so far for getting people doing differn't things and learning aspects of the game they didn't maybe know or use and going to differn't places they may not of gone before which overall i think was there goal..

BUT still no news about any sort of build manager is really getting on my nerves:P

I'm bored too but

even I can't get why you grind alt to lvl 30?!!! I do this way: make alt of your choice (I choose good look), finish tutorial and use PvP icon to bring it to Lions Arch. Run to the portals area (discover waypoints will add your XP), open trade WP too (kust in case), then tele to Hoelbark.Run along the road to the Krennak's WP (here you can ask map channel to help you to get there, but I got easy so far). while you run through outpost with crafters pick 2 of them, then join mega event The Frozen Maw, it's lvl 11 but I did early at lvl 6 I guess. Don't worry, event attract many people so they will res you (do not use melee weapons there).Run mega event every 25 min for large XP and chest rewards, use XP boosts like food and pots, while waiting for next Maw to come, run to craft outpost and work. Keep in mind: use of crafter stand gives you access to bank too. This way you'll get mega fast XP and money for craft, after you can do dungeons if you like and don't mind to be annoyed.

Best of luck!

try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2

Flip your Signature and those are my exact best and worst MMO's. Its funny how people have different tastes huh? Whats even funnier is how you feel the need to bash something you don't like every signle day. Really must not have a life to troll the GW2 forums so often.

As to the OP (who is another guy that is notorious for bashing GW2) My playtime has gone to about 2 days a week for about an hour a time. I am bored of the game as well but the game is still a very good game 900+ hours played is time well spent. Here's looking forward to new content in the future, but more importantly a new expansion.

If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

GW2 is pretty much that game that had many features but at the same time had nothing to offer.

It lacks social interactions so badly it hurts. Everything is about the "player", so it's pretty much a solo game right there. You can't share your achievements with others? Pretty lame. Just as well because you can't even see who is in the same zone as you, or engage someone with emotes (although GW2 did ship with a really massive arsenal of 10 unique emotes .. joy? .. (Ug oh WoW, watch out.) Guilds are a joke, and "Guild Wars" and non-existant. PoS game, IMO.

Majorly overhyped game. I felt buyers remorse only 2 weeks into this garbage.

I give it a higher than 1 rating though because ArenaNet did use a good graphics engine Music also stunk BTW (1 song from Halloween was really good, but that's about it).

Butr based on your other posts about GW2, I can tell you never played it!!

GW2 bored me also until a few days ago. It took Necromancer to get me hooked on it.

I never gave up on it, and now I am finally enjoying it.

Sometimes it is the professions chosen to play. I can understand this fully - I have my Ranger at lvl 80 without any deaths - by exploring and fighting - left PS alone at lvl 50.

this too. I played Guardian. Enjoyed my guardian, because I wanted a Paladin in GW2 anyway. once I maxed him out and unlocked all my skills, I wasnt going to item grind this time like in other MMO. I refuse. I went to leveling alts. And none of them had my interest because most of them couldnt play a equal support/healing role like my guardian could, while also having equal option for defense, as well as Melee option. Ele so far has been my go to class as well as my Warrior. Bored. I was leveling Mesmer as well. those three are the only characters I have besides my main, over the level 10 mark. I am getting bored on my engineer. exploring easily leads to areas with mobs that are too powerful and cant be avoided due to server side glitches in the animation/hit detection.

My signature simply indicates that I like online *RPGs*, not some awkward simplified RPG-light experience plus some PvP.

btw, e.g. Farmville has millions of users, same with tablet tapping games... yeah, tastes are different., I don´t play Farmville either.

This thread was on the main page, "every single day" is epic hyperbole mate, stopped commenting on this game long ago..I have better things to do than talking about GW2.. ;) cheerio

base on your suggestion, what would I be doing between those 25 mins of waiting for metas? Also crafting gets pretty expensive. I easily eat up alt's money on crafting mats. And usually dont find enough mats from just exploring the same area.
